Complesso Rupestre di San Giorgio al Paradiso

A unique and hidden place where it is possible to read the visual narration of the adaptations undergone in the millenary eras of the Rock civilization: from an ancient cave, shared by men and animals, the site is ennobled into a church and then becomes an oil mill; finally during the 17th century it was transformed into a cellar for the production and conservation of wine. An evocative route that enters the complex rainwater collection system, still intact, with channels dug into the rock and six wonderful cisterns, which can be explored on multiple levels, evidence of different historical phases. The presence of the magnificent statue of San Giorgio, an ancient sculpture of rare workmanship, carved in the hard mazzaro stone, restores the lost sacredness to the complex. The itinerary ends by arriving at ancient houses of which it is still possible to admire the original structure. THE TOUR IS IN AUDIO GUIDE MODE AVAILABLE IN 8 LANGUAGES.

Matera and Altamura… not to be missed

Published on Oct, 2024

Gianluca and his agency were very accommodating and professional. After a warm greeting, we left on time and were expertly driven to Matera and then later, to Altamura. Gianluca answered all our questions about the region during the drive. He dropped us off and picked us up punctually. He was a very gracious guide and driver, and we enjoyed our day immensely.
